Making Furniture

Tap the Craft icon to make furniture. When it's finished, it will be marked Complete!
You'll need to acquire certain craft materials to craft a piece of furniture.
If you don't have enough craft materials, you can use Leaf Tickets to acquire them and then make an order.
And if you can't wait any longer to see the finished product, you can also use Leaf Tickets to immediately complete the crafting process.

Fishing Tips

If you see a shadow of a fish in the river or the ocean, tap on it to cast your line.
Once the fish bites, an exclamation point (!) will appear over it. Tap quickly to reel
that fish in! If you're having a hard time catching a certain type of fish, a throw net can
come in handy. But remember—different types of fish live in the ocean and in the river.

Bug-Catching Tips

If you're holding your net at a recreation spot, that means you can catch bugs.
To start, tap on a bug. When you're close enough to catch it, an exclamation point (!) will appear.
Quickly tap again to trap the bug in your net.
If you're having a hard time catching a certain type of bug, you can use honey to catch many types of bugs at once.

All About Items

Leaf Tickets

Leaf Tickets are a form of in-game currency that can be purchased with real money or obtained through
regular gameplay. They can be exchanged for things like throw nets, honey, Calling Cards, and other
in-game items. They can also be used to complete crafting jobs immediately.

Throw Nets

Throw nets are a great way to catch a lot of fish at once. You can exchange
Leaf Tickets for them at the piers next to the river or ocean. You'll catch
different fish using different throw nets, so choose wisely!

Honey

Using honey is an easy way to catch lots of bugs at once.
You can exchange Leaf Tickets for honey at the hollow stump marked with a honey icon.
You'll catch different bugs with different types of honey, so choose wisely!

Fertilizer

Fertilizer can regrow fruit on trees immediately! If you tap on a tree whose fruit
has been recently harvested, you'll be able to exchange Leaf Tickets for fertilizer.

Calling Cards

You can use a Calling Card to summon an animal to a recreation spot. To use one, tap on an animal in
your contacts and then tap Call. If you don't have any Calling Cards, you can call an animal directly in exchange for Leaf Tickets. But remember, you can only call an animal who is not already visiting your campsite or a recreation spot.

Request Tickets

When you want to level up your friendship with an animal quickly, you can use Request Tickets to unlock additional requests.
If you don't have any Request Tickets, you can always exchange Leaf Tickets for additional requests.

Craft Materials

There are materials used to craft furniture and amenities. You can earn them by fulfilling requests for animals, leveling up, and completing Timed Goals or Stretch Goals.

Amenities

Amenities are the biggest attractions at your campsite! As you level up, you'll unlock all kinds of fun amenities that
you can craft for your animal friends to interact with. Once you craft an amenity, you'll also be able to host an
unveiling party—your Friendship Level will go up with all animals in attendance!

Useful Features

Contacts

Tap the Contacts icon at the bottom of your screen to see all of your animal friends. While you're there, you can
see what each animal wants you to craft before you can host him or her at your campsite.

Stretch Goals

Always an overachiever, Isabelle has laid out a set of challenges called Stretch Goals that you can chip away at over longer periods of time. Whenever you complete a Stretch Goal, the Isabelle icon on the upper right side of your screen will flash. Tap the icon,
and then tap the Stretch Goals tab to collect your reward!

Market Box

Market Box is a place for you and your friends to exchange fish, fruit, bugs, and other natural items for Bells. If you're having a hard time completing a request for an animal, check out a friend's Market Box... He or she may have just the item you've been looking for!
